Entandrophragma cylindricum
Easy to work, this wood together with other Mellaceae is often used as a substitute for real mahogany. It is required by the furniture industry, particularly as a veneer, and also by the plywood industry for fine veneers. In the joinery industry, it is widely used for paneling, floorboards, window frames, pianos, and other musical instruments and also for boats.
